However, speaking at a screening of her new Sky Living show The Face today (September 26), the supermodel said: "In the past ten days, yes there's been a huge change in balance diversity. When I say huge, from New York, Milan, London, now Paris is starting.

"For instance, Giorgio Armani had a woman of colour open his show and four women of colour in his show. That's never ever happened, that I can remember. Jill Sander did. I'm saying names because they did it and I'm very proud and happy."

The 43-year-old went on to say that she doesn't want it to be a "trend", stating: "What we don't want with balance diversity is that it becomes a trend. We don't want a trend.

"We want, if you're beautiful, you've got the right aesthetics, that you have the opportunity to go after the job, and be in the show, or be chosen like anyone else. So it's not something that's just hip for five minutes.

"I hope it's not the situation that everyone's running out to grab a model of colour or an Asian model because we're raising our voices. We hope it's going to stay that way and we will keep raising our voices till it does. It's a long-term plan."
